What is a gamma ray camera?
Gamma camera is used to give an image of the body, based on the gamma rays coming from radionuclide inside the body.
Nuclear medicine scan?
For most nuclear imaging studies, radionuclide is injected into the patient and the images are taken with a gamma camera suspended above the patient who will be lying on a table. The camera detects the gamma rays emitted from the radionuclide in the patient's body and uses this information to produce an image that shows the distribution of the radionuclide within the body. The image is recorded on film and is called a radionuclide scan.
Immunity produced by the injection of gamma globulin is known as?
Passive immunity. Active immunity is when antibody is produced after being infected by a disease.
What does a normal MUGA scan show?
The pictures are taken via gamma camera driven by a computer program
What is nuclear medicine?
Nuclear Medicine is the term given to a study that uses radioactive compounds like radionuclide or radiopharmaceuticals to temporarily 'collect' images from parts of the body to be studied. Radionuclide is usually injected to specific parts of the body to illuminate it and capture images from a gamma camera. The two most common nuclear scans are of the heart and bone.
What is an indirect radionuclide cystography?
Indirect radionuclide cystography is a diagnostic test that involves injecting a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream, which is then filtered by the kidneys and excreted into the bladder. By using a gamma camera to capture images of the bladder filling and emptying, this test helps to evaluate the function and structure of the bladder as well as detect any abnormalities or abnormalities in bladder function.
What are 3 examples of gamma rays?
Three examples of gamma rays are those emitted during radioactive decay, produced by nuclear reactions in stars, and used in medical imaging techniques such as gamma camera scans.
What brain imaging method requires the injection of a radioactive substance?
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a brain imaging method that requires the injection of a radioactive substance. This substance emits gamma rays that can be detected by a gamma camera to produce detailed images of brain activity.
What is the same as a scintiscanner?
gamma camera
Difference between SPECT and gamma camera?
spect is techniques to get information e.g images,whear as gamma camera is a device which is used to get this.
Spontaneous disintegration of a radionuclide accompanied by the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays?
This process describes radioactive decay, where an unstable radionuclide spontaneously transforms into a more stable form by emitting particles (alpha or beta) or photons (gamma rays). This emission reduces the nucleus' energy and brings it closer to a stable state.
How is a technetium heart scan done?
The isotope is injected into a vein and absorbed by healthy tissue at a known rate during a certain time period. The radionuclide detector, in this case a gamma scintillation camera, picks up the gamma rays emitted by the isotope.
